Trip Plan : Chennai - Mysore - Nagarhole - Mysore - Srirangapatna - Mysore - Chennai
A weekend trip to around Mysore and around with family.
Day-1
Chamundi hills and temple. The temple opens for dharshan by 07:30 AM. The temple is one of the 18 Sakthi Peetams. One has to go through the hills for 8 kms to reach the Chamundeswari temple. There are lot of parking slots near the temple. The day was Rama Navami and some appreciable crowd was expected. There are paid and free dharshans - paid are for Rs.30 and Rs.100. Free dharshan was obviously very crowded and estimated to take more than 1 hour time for dharshan. We opted for Rs.30 dharshan and were able to have a very good dharshan.
Srirangapatna is a river island on river Cauvery, around 20 kms from Mysore - a drive of around 30 minutes. There are several places to see in Srirangapatna worth more than half a day to spend.
Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple - is one of the popular tourist spots similar to Srirangam in Tamilnadu across the river of Cauvery. Being Sunday, the temple was crowded with tourists and locals. The temple is quite big hosting Lord Venkatramana. The temple hosts beautiful Hoysala architecture based pillars in the main prakaram of the temple. It took almost an hour for us to complete the dharshan and go around the temple. It was a quite hot day and tender coconuts helped us.
